Last summer, Galería de la Raza (located in the Mission area of San Francisco) installed a street-level billboard/mural featuring two images from Dulce Pinzón’s photo series, “Superheros.” Each photograph depicts a Mexican immigrant worker in New York doing their job in an off-the-shelf superhero costume. The Hulk unloads produce from a truck, Batman drives a taxi, and Catwoman takes care of her employer’s children. The superhero’s name, home town, and the monthly amount of money they send home captions each photograph.
